One reason we've been in a lot of close games is that we've had a problem coming out early in games and jumping on people. People come out and jump on us more than we jump on them.

Brock does so many things well on and off the court. In practices he teaches, he communicates and he inspires the other kids. He's going to be a great coach someday.

He struggled in the last couple of games. I'm just wondering if that's the reason why he's afraid to take any kind of chance whatsoever and as a result, in the last couple of games, a lot of the passes have been high over the receivers.

I think that D-line is playing their tails off. They're not the reason we've lost games.

There's got to be a reason we're not pulling these games out. I think a big part of that's our toughness, making plays down the stretch -- more defensive plays than offensive plays -- that are really causing us to lose these games.

That wasn't the reason. We just needed to win two games.
